Definitions
- This invention relates generally to buckles and more galrticularly to an improved buckle for automobile seat e ts.
- one object of the instant invention is a buckle for a safety belt that is devoid of an external or projecting manual operator to preclude spurious latching of a tongue thereunder.
- seat belt buckles are generally disposed in a motorists lap, it is desirable for such buckles to have a relatively clean and smooth exterior surface, devoid of appurtenances or apertures which are apt to snag clothing, seats, etc.
- Another object is a seat belt buckle that is relatively clean, smooth and devoid of external appurtenances and apertures.
- FIGURE 1 is a top view of the seat belt buckle of the instant invention with the tongue removed therefrom;
- FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the seat belt buckle of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line 33 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 of the seat belt buckle of the instant invention with the tongue assembled therewith;
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 with the internal manual operator and latch rotated to the release condition;
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line 66 of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 7 is a view taken along the line 77 of FIG. 1.
- a safety belt buckle 10 in accordance with the exemplary constructed embodiment of the instant invention, comprises a base 12, a latch plate 14, a latch spring 16, an internal manual operator 18, a cover plate 20 and a belt bar 22.
- the foregoing components are assembled in interlocking relationship on the base 12 and are self-retained in the assembled condition, as will be described.
- a tongue 30 is adapted to be releasably accepted and retained within the buckle 10.
- One end 34 of a belt portion 36 is adjustably looped around the bar 22 and an end 37 of a belt portion 38 is secured to the tongue 30 as by stitching designated by the numeral 39.
- the base 12 of the buckle 10 is of channel-like lateral cross section defined by a web portion 40 with upstanding flange portions 42 and 44 at the opposite edges thereof.
- the flange portions 42 and 44 of the base 12 have inwardly folded edges 46 and 48 thereon, respectively, that extend generally parallel to the web portion 40 of the base 12.
- the web portion 40 of the base 12 has a reentrantly folded latch retainer 50 at one end thereof that pivotally accepts an end portion 52 of the latch plate 14.
- the latch plate 14 is both supported for rotation relative to the base 12 and retained against movement outwardly of the base 12 by the retainer portion 50 thereof.
- the latch plate 14 has a latch face 54 on an offset portion 56 thereof that is engageable with a complementary latch surface 58 on the periphery of an aperture 60 in the tongue 30 to effect locking of the tongue 30 within the buckle 10.
- the latch plate 14 is normally biased toward the latched condition by the spring 16, one end portion 62 of which is reentrantly folded about the offset portion 56 of the latch, plate 14.
- the end portion 62 of the spring 16 is secured to a laterally extending portion 64 which in turn is connected to a pair of longitudinally extending side portions 66 and 68.
- a normally folded portion 70 joins the side portions 66 and 68 thereby to form what amounts to an open rectangle comprising the portions 64, 66, 68 and 79.
- the spring 16 has an upstanding latch plate stripper portion 72 on the opposite side of the lateral portion 64 thereof from the portion 62. The stripper portion 72 effects engagement with the underside of the tongue 30 when the latch plate 14 is biased to the release condition by the internal manual operator 18, as will be more particularly described hereinafter.
- the belt bar 22, about which the end 34 of the belt portion 36 is looped, has a pair of generally rectangular slide plates 74 and 76 staked to opposite ends thereof which are guided for reciprocation by the edge portions 46 and 48 and the web portion 40 of the base 12.
- the belt portion 36 extends through a complementary aperture 78 in the base 12 and about the bar 22.
- the buckle 10 is provided with an internal, substantially enclosed manual operator 18.
- the manual operator 18 has an end portion 80 that is pivotally supported in a reentrantly folded portion 82 of the cover 20.
- An opposite end portion 84 of the manual operator 18 is reentrantly folded so as to be engageable with the latch 14.
- the cover 20 is secured to the base 12 by the reentrantly folded portion 82 thereof which is engaged under a pair of fingers 9t) and 92 (FIG. 2) which are pierced from the edge portions 46 and 48 of the base 12, respectively.
- the fingers 9 0 and 92 are bent upwardly so that the reentrantly folded portion 82 of the cover plate does not extend downwardly, as seen in FIG. 3, of the drawings, beyond the plane of the lower surfaces of the edge portions 46 and 48. This feature allows the tongue 30 to bear directly upon the underside of the edge portions 46 and 48 when in the latched position.
- an opposite end 100 of the cover plate 20 is folded normally to the top surface 102 thereof so as to enclose the base 12 at the opposite end thereof from the latch plate retainer 50.
- the folded portion 100 is provided with a pair of notches 104 and 106 for the acceptance of the edge portions 46 and 48, respectively.
- the folded portion. 100 is snapped into position over the portions 46 and 48 and is retained in a position flush with the end faces of the web portion 40, flange portions 42 and 44 and edge portions 46 and 48.
- the geometry of the seat belt buckle 10 is such that the direction of movement of the latch face 54 on the latch 14 is generally parallel to the plane thereof and parallel to the direction of movement of the motorists finger 83. Furthermore, the pressure point of the motorists finger 83 on the manual operator 18 is substantially aligned with the latch face 54. Thus, substantially all of the energy expended by the motorist is transmitted to the latch face 54 of the latch plate 14 to effect disengagement thereof from the latch surface 58 of the tongue 30.
- the reentrantly folded portions 50 and 82 of the base 12 and cover 20, respectively extend in close parallel laterally aligned relation so as to define a slot for the acceptance of the tongue 30.
- the seat belt buckle 10 of the instant invention is assembled by first engaging the end portion 62 of the latch spring 16 about the offset portion 56 of the latch plate 14. The assembled latch plate 14 and spring 16 are then inserted under the edge portions 46 and 48 of the base 12, and moved from the left to the right inwardly of the base 12 to the position shown in FIGS. 3-5 of the drawings. It is to be noted that a pair of notches 110 and 112 (FIG. 2) in the portion 70 of the spring 16 permit passage of the spring 16 past a pair of projections 114 and 116 on the base 12.
- the portion 70 of the spring 16 has to be moved away from the web potrion 40 of the base 12 against its normal bias to allow the projections 114 and 116 to pass through the apertures 110' and 112 whereupon the spring 16 snaps to the condition shown in FIGS. 3-5 of the drawings. Once the spring 16 is in position, the projections 114 and 11 6 preclude movement thereof to the left as seen in FIGS. 3-5.
- the looped end 34 of the belt portion 36 is next inserted through slot 78 in the base 12 and the bar 22 inserted therethrough.
- the cover 20 and manual operator 18 are then secured to the base 12 by inserting the fingers 90 and 92 into the reentrantly folded portion 82 of the cover 20 and then snapping the normally folded opposite end 100 thereof over the opposite end of the base 12.
- Lengthening of the belt 36 is effected by tilting the buckle 10 relative to the belt portion 36.
- the belt 36 can be lengthened with one hand by merely pulling on the buckle 10.
- Shortening of the belt portion 36 is effected by merely pulling on the top or free end 34 of the belt portion 36.
- the belt buckle 10 of the instant invention is relatively clean and entirely free of protruding components and apertures.
- spurious latching of the tongue 30 is precluded and the buckle 10 does not snag clothing or seat upholstery or otherwise present sharp surfaces that might limit use of the buckle 10.
